Lives in the notch
A dynamic island for your Mac. Always there, never in the way — your portals are one hover away.
For macOS · lives in your notch
Portl snapshots your apps, tabs, and windows into a portal — and reopens all of it with a single click.
The problem
How it works
One shortcut freezes your whole workspace — every app, tab, and window position — into a portal in your notch.
Hover the notch, click your portal. That's it. That's the whole workflow.
Apps launch, tabs reload, windows fly to their exact positions. Like you never left.
Features
A dynamic island for your Mac. Always there, never in the way — your portals are one hover away.
Not just app launching. Portl restores browser tabs and exact window positions, down to the pixel.
No setup scripts, no fiddling. Click the portal and your entire context pours back onto the screen.
Portals never leave your Mac. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Your workspace is yours.
The money shot
One click. Eleven windows. Zero rebuilding.

Stop rebuilding your workspace. Start stepping back into it.
